内容简介

Born to an unfortunate heritage, orphaned, unsympathetically raised, and then abandoned, Edgar Allan Poe struggled for greatness in an adverse social and economic climate -- a setting not improved by his fiery temperament and caustic criticism of others. Poe's melancholy brilliance, his passionate lyricism, and his tormented soul would make him one of the most widely read and original writers in American literature. Here, in one volume, are his classic short works: masterpieces of horror, terror, humor, and adventure -- and the finest lyric and narrative poetry of this ill-fated genius whose influence on both prose and verse continues to this day.

Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Great Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe contains the original Pocket Books introduction, first published in 1951, along with an updated selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further readings.

作者简介

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".

Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.

Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today.

新的书评规则不符消费者心理，网上书评贵在简明扼要，一针见血，看书评者也无看长篇大论的耐心，有些书的书评是无法洋洋洒洒的，建议改进书评规则。

从《格雷厄姆杂志》1841年4月号起成为该刊编辑（年薪800美元外加文学作品稿费）；发表他所谓的“推理小说”之首篇《莫格街谋杀案》。接着创作新的小说和诗歌，写出一系列关于密码分析和真迹复制的文章。到年底《格雷厄姆杂志》的订户增加了四倍多。打听在泰勒政府机构谋求文书职位的情况。重提创办《佩恩杂志》之计划，为此他希望得到格雷厄姆的经济支持，并邀请欧文、库珀、布赖恩特、肯尼迪和其他一些作家定期赐稿。1842年1月弗吉尼亚唱歌时一根血管破裂，差点儿丧生，其后再也没有完全恢复健康。会见狄更斯。春季发表的作品包括《格雷厄姆杂志》上的《红死病的假面具》和一篇褒扬霍桑的《旧闻逸事》的评论，另有一篇发表在《星期六晚邮报》上的文章，坡在这篇文章中试图根据狄更斯正在连载的《巴纳比·拉奇》之前11章推测出全书的结局（他猜对了谁是凶手，但在其它方面则猜错）。1842年5月从《格雷厄姆杂志》辞职，其编辑职务由鲁弗斯·威尔莫特·格里斯沃尔德（后为坡的遗著保管人）接替。未能说服费城那位出版商出版扩编本的《怪异故事集》，这个两卷本已经他重新修订，并重新命名为《奇思异想集》。秋天发表的作品包括《陷坑与钟摆》。
